Orientation of the Community's attention and User alignment
1 like524 views
The document discusses evaluating the orientation and alignment of a community's attention on online resources. It aims to understand the orientation of the community's attention on resources like messages and user profiles during a time interval [t1, t2], and help individual users regulate their attention by aligning it with the community. It proposes calculating metrics to measure the alignment of a user's attention with the community's attention at different levels - resources, concepts, and other users. The metrics would indicate the degree of alignment and suggest resources/users for a individual to read to improve their alignment with the community.

- 6. Orientation Community & user alignment Objective 2: for each level (resource, concept, user), to understand and help a user to regulate his/her attention by aligning it with the community’s one: meta cognition: At which degree i s my attention oriented to the same resources ( or same concepts, same users) as the community’s attention? Regulation: “What should I read, or who should I read to improve my alignment?”
- 7. Objective 2: Evaluation of the user’s alignment Outputs: Indicators for the user’s alignment At the resource level: 4 states of alignment At the tag and people level (set of resources): Alignment metrics , with R a set of resources (all the resources or the resource related to a given concept or user), Orientation Community & user alignment What metrics do we want? If a lot of resources attracted the community but only a subset has attracted the most part of the audience, and if a user only paid attention to it, she/he will be quite aligned (e.g. 90% ). Focus on me Same focus Only me Inattention
